I have eAccelerator installed on my server... is this all I need to do? I then enabled the two options 'Minify CSS' and 'Fetch public templates as files'. These options are supposed to make my website FASTER, is that correct?

Since doing all these changes, my website is running slower than ever. The number of queries per page is indeed lower, but timings are higher. Did I do something wrong?

Absolutely not! Keep it firewalled off from the internet. You only need to be able to access that port locally and if you have any additional servers then you need whitelist their IP addresses as well.

I just found that caching itself works fine. If I disable caching for user sessions, then the user quicker logout problem disappears. Does it really make a lot of difference to store user sessions in cache?
